A Fishy Happening

I did a heavy rock cleaning yesterday or the day before...any way, after clearing so much green hair algae away, these seastars came out and spewed (for lack of a better word) a white substance, I am hopeful they were happy and not the opposite...I hate to think I am hurting something. I love these tanks but they could have a lot better owner/caretaker!!!
